Is there any bad taste in Art?

Is it possible to go too far in stretching the boundaries of taste in art?

I would be interested to hear what others think of this topic as I am writing an essay on it and am finding a world of difference from what Curators think and what artists think. Any input appreciated.

yeah, I think so.I have a problem when the artist just tries to shock the viewer with hard pronographic or unjustified violence, or using kids. all in the name of art, why don't they try another route? I think if they thought a little deeper they could get the same desired response

About Me

Art, Design & Photography are a profound journey communicating my experiences
and thoughts.
The journey to create begins with observation. Inspired by the beauty around me, the formation of petals on a flower, the patterns and textures of bark, the skeletal silver sculpture of a dead tree, the contrasting colours of the outback earth and sky, the twisting shapes of vines, the arch of a back, the curve of a full behind, the taught muscular chest, the earthly palette, the topography of the hills or the motion of the oceans waves. My works are homage’s to nature, not as being separate from us but intrinsically entwined with us.
Beauty, nature and earth’s elements are my muses.
